Start your private 2-day desert tour with an early morning departure (around 08:00) from your hotel or riad in Marrakech. Journey through the High Atlas Mountains via the Tizi Ntichka pass (2,260 m) and pass by traditional Berber villages. There will be several stops along the way for photos, refreshments, and a chance to stretch your legs.
Upon arrival in the Ait Benhaddou village, explore the UNESCO World Heritage Site, known for its ancient kasbah and as a backdrop for many famous films. Enjoy a guided tour of the village before having lunch in Ait Benhaddou or Ouarzazate.
After lunch, continue your journey through the Anti-Atlas Mountains, passing the village of Agdez and the lush Draa Valley, home to one of Morocco’s largest palm groves. Arrive in Zagora in the late afternoon and embark on a camel trek across the dunes, soaking in the spectacular sunset. End your day at our luxury desert camp in Zagora, where you’ll enjoy a magical night under the stars with Berber hospitality.
Wake up early to witness the mesmerizing sunrise over the dunes, a moment that will be etched in your memory. After a traditional Moroccan breakfast, depart for Ouarzazate, where you’ll visit the historic Taourirt Kasbah. After lunch, head back to Marrakech, passing through several Berber villages nestled along the river and mountains.
Along the way, you’ll see terraced valleys lined with oleanders and fruit trees, including olives, walnuts, pomegranates, and more. Experience the everyday life of Berber women and children tending to their livestock and gathering firewood on the steep hillsides.
Arrive in Marrakech in the evening, where your 2-day desert adventure will conclude with a drop-off at your hotel.
